| Holy crap!!!!!!!! I just released a 57 inch muskie!!! I saw the monster just sitting in the weeds and I burned a glitter tail right by her face and she came charging at it then went into the figure 8 and eight it!!!! I was all by myself and had to net it all by myself. I caught it about 70 yards away from shore right on the edge of a weed bed casting a Glitter tail # 10. Lake vermilion!! A couple people saw it from the dock so I went over and had them take pictures for me and look at the measuring stick too...because I just could not believe my eyes...57!! After drifting in I was so close to shore, so I took my socks and shoes off and hopped in to help revive her. It took kinda a while but she swam off perfectly. It was pretty fun to be in the water with her. I have to thank Spring Bay Resort, Steve, Dayis, and Joe Amundson for welcoming me here for the summer! And for letting me use one of there rental boats while mine is in the marina. Can not thank them enough!!!! Muskie Mafia! Jake Heuer

| Unreal, dude. I'm not sure you're going to be able to top this week! And as for the pictures, I think they're pretty spectacular. Heck I'd be happy with an overexposed, grainy, tail cut off, my head cut off, thumb in the viewfinder, blurry picture of a 57"... At least I would have caught it! CONGRATS! Now go out and stick a 58". |

Location: Musky Tackle Online, MN | Awesome job, Jake, and congrats. The fact that you netted that beast by yourself just adds to how impressive the catch is. Nice work. Hopefully you can catch her again when she's bigger!
